Cherry wood eating spoon #9

Length: 17cm  (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 5cm
Bowl length: 6.5cm
Finish: hemp seed oil

This chunky eating spoon is typical of my recent carving. The bowl is deep enough at the back to hold plenty of liquid but shallow at the front to eat off comfortably. The handle is thicker than you might be used to but oval in profile with a facetted top surface and rounded below to make it extra comfy to hold. Cherry like this with some dark growth rings doesn’t come along very often.

An elegant eating spoon from some radially cleft elm is delicate whilst also very strong. The elm dries very hard and should last many years of regular use.

The bowl and neck of this spoon, from the heart wood of wild plum or bullace, is such a gorgeous deep red brown colour. This wood is very hard and the bowl is silky smooth so it should eat like a dream.

This radial blackthorn spoon has an symmertic bowl making suitable for left or right handers. There’s a striking black line running down it between the darked heartwood and the pale sapwood. It’s got a facetted oval profile handle and some lovely dark red tones in th heartwood. Note that over time the red will most likely fade to a dark brown but it’ll still be gorgeous.
